Jagdish says I need a thick skin

Can somebody please help me to explain a simple and obvious point to Hounslow's most prominent politician?It is this...that when I object to him using the tragic deaths of two local residents in a fire to make some silly political point on behalf of his party at my expense it is not because I am over-sensitive or precious about what he has said about me.It is because I fear the relatives and loved ones of the deceased will have been through enough heartache already without having to witness the spectacle of the Leader of Hounslow Council using their tragedy for a political point-scoring opportunity.This is such a simple, straightforward and obvious thing.  Why then can these people not get this?The following article from the Hounslow Chronicle refers:http://www.hounslowchronicle.co.uk/west-london-news/local-hounslow-news/2013/07/23/row-amid-accusations-of-political-point-scoring-over-fatal-fire-109642-33643935/

I've just read the report in the Chronicle and a better (or worse) example of crocodile tears would be hard to find imo. At a time when everyone with any heart would be respectfully thinking of the victims,their friends and families and nothing else he spuriously links this to a completely seperate issue.And he will be asking for votes soon...

To be blunt Jagdish should be very ashamed of himself for agreeing to this statement being released and I am not sure what is more worrying the fact that an officer wrote it for him or the fact that he endorsed it and still tries to justify itI use to have a lot of respect for him but attempting to make a cheap political point using the death of two local residents is about as low as you can get and he should resign

Nothing needs to be said.He made himself look a complete T**t and that has been noticed by plenty of ordinary people locally in Heston.If he can't see that then he is the one with a problem.
